New investigation of ALS

As a therapist and student specialized in clinical psychosomatics, I decided to write my thesis about ALS. We are looking at ALS from a completely new perspective: if there is a connection between one's symptoms and certain events in the life of a patient.

Thank you very much for your participation!
